Mirinae, the first typhoon in Vietnam this year, made landfall Wednesday, bringing strong winds that have felled hundreds of trees in Hanoi. In Hai Phong Province, wind gusts of 100 kilometers per hour have stranded around 300 tourists, many of them foreigners, on Cat Hai Island. It has weakened to a tropical low, yet still caused heavy downpours and strong winds of around 80 kilometers per hour in Hanoi and nearby provinces on Thursday morning. The storm made landfall in Nam Dinh and Ninh Binh Provinces at 10 p.m. A military officer said winds collapsed a wall of a house in Hanoi's Phu Xuyen District on Wednesday afternoon, killing one man and injuring six other people.
